Hi All - I am having major problems annotating PDFs - can someone help? This started today (first time I've tried to annotate a PDF in about a week) - I right-click and choose "annotate this PDF" and it just keeps "thinking" (circular icon keeps spinning). I kept cancelling and trying again, restarting, updated the software, trying on another computer...then I finally let it keep spinning while I walked away for a while. I came back to see this error, attached. I re-downloaded the PDF from the webs source and re-saved into another note and it still didn't work. I finally clicked "Annotate a copy of this note" and I WAS able to annotate the note and save...however, when I went back to open the annotation window, I got the same error again. I tried other notes in my notebook - some work and some don't. I can't find a discernible pattern. What could this be? I'm using Windows 10, just updated to the latest EN Windows client. By the way, as a side note I really dislike the new PDF viewing interface that rolled out a month or so ago. It's a terrible viewing and usage experience. Navigating in the note and getting to the correct spot in the PDF is like trying to get around in a minefield. Extremely frustrating. Anyway, can anyone help me trouble-shoot this annotation issue? Thank you!! Darren

Hi I'm trying to annotate a PDF in Evernote. It is a construction drawing, so it's got lots of small detail, so I zoomed in to, say 75%. At this soomed in level, the whole PDF is naturally not all visible on the screen at once, but I cannot pan or move the image left and right so I can annotate the whole thing. There's no hand or panning tool, nor is there a edge scroll bar for me to click and scroll. I can use the mouse wheel to scroll up and down, but nothing to move me sideways. Am I missing something? I'm using the EN client on Win 7. Thanks in advance for your help! - Darren

Thanks for the explanation, Scott. Intuitively, I was selecting "share notebook," and that was only taking me to the chat function. When I right-click the notebook I want to share, there is no "publish notebook" option. I figured out that I need to select "properties" and then select "sharing & collaboration options" before I can publish the notebook and get the public URL. So....thankfully, I can still share a public link to a notebook, although there seems to be more steps in doing so. Thanks again for reply.

It has been this way forever. There has never been a way to privately share an entire notebook with a non-evernote user, such within an email message. I have always been able to get a public link to a notebook and share with a non-EN user until now with this "chat" update. This is an extreme downgrade and very much limits how I can use Evernote.

I can't help notice that you said you would roll back the change "for now." Sounds like you will UNroll it again in the future? Can you please be more specific? If this will EVER be unrolled again, then I will still have the same problem I have now, and Evernote will cease to be functional for me.

I contacted @Evernotehelps on Twitter yesterday and they said it;s a bug which they are fixing....see below (hope fully the embedded Tweet displays properly): [edited: cannot display the tweet]

Thanks for your reply. Answers below: 1. Yes, many times. 2. Last activity says (as I write this) it was last synced 13 minutes ago. 3. I created a new note in EN DT client (CTRL+N), then clicked the paper clip icon to add the 21 photos. It is easier (for me) to add photos that way than to drag them....would that make a difference? I only checked EN web after I noticed these weren't uploading viewing...just as a troubleshooting measure. 4. I didn't realize that I was doubling-up space allowance by annotating in a sync'd notebook. To confirm, do you suggest I create an unsync'd "holding cell" notebook where I'd create notes w/photos, annotate, then move them to a sync'd notebook? 5. It's now been about 8 hours or more, and it's the same handful of photos showing....the bottom left of the note says there are 21 items and the full correct amount of mb (41.9) and there is enough white space to account for all the photos...everything indicates that they are indeed there, except for that it's a blank white space instead of a photo.

Hi - On the Desktop EN client in Windows 7, I have uploaded 21 jpg photos totaling 41.9 mb. It's been about 6 hours now, and they still do not all appear in the note. About 8 or 9 are there, and there are blank spaces where a photo might be as I scroll down - and even an "Annotate" button upon hover-over in these blank spaces, but the photos are not appearing nor do they seem to be loading. **I have viewed this on the web, and all 21 photos DO appear! It's key that I view all on the EN for Windows client, because I need to annotate the photos using the internal Skitch annotator. I'm using Evernote for Windows 5.4.0.3698 GA Any help would be greatly appreciated...thanks! Darren

As mentioned above by others, I have the latest Beta (Windows 7/64 Bit) and if I click the hoverable "Mark-up" icon where there is a photo in a note, it just flickers. Neither right- or left-clicking does anything....and the hoverable icon doesn't even show up on a PDF. Same exact behavior on my laptop, too (also win7/64bit). How are we supposed to use the "in-note" mark-up feature? is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

I saw that Evernote released update 7.0.1 and was sure this would be fixed, but I updated and sadly it is not. This completely defeats the purpose of using Evernote - making and viewing notes on the fly is no longer possible. Please fix!

I am having the exact same problem (iphone 4s running ios7, Premium user), and it is a TOTAL nightmare - it completely removes my ability to make notes on the fly, or quickly call up my stored information. I have searched the entire app and iphone settings, but don't see any place where I can check "remember me." Does staff monitor this forum where they can tell us how to fix this quickly? Obviously this is affecting a handful of people who have posted here, so probably more out there as well. I'm sure it would be easier for EN to answer here all at one time rather than process a bunch of support cases (next week, after more days of suffering for us) for the same thing.

I agree wholeheartedly agree with this suggestion. I know I can rotate a JPG photo in the Windows Desktop version, but I don't see that we can on the iPhone.
